Conflicting reports but the most recent was that Salei was NOT on the plane having left early to see the aformentioned baby and his family and is still alive. It would be a LOT easier though if the man himself would make a public announcement if he was indeed alive. I do recognize there are other things to worry about though, so wait we shall.

If he wasn't on the plane I would think he'd have made some kind of announcement already or atleast someone would have heard from him..

i cannot fathom what's been going on this offseason. My boyfriend called me as I was heading to work and told me he heard about the plane crash on 97.1 and i couldn't believe it. This is seriously so damn heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who's lives were lost this morning. I am still holding out hope since no one has confirmed it yet that Salei somehow missed the flight or was elsewhere. Regardless, it's such a tragedy for all the others affected.

I want to hope Salei made it, but it's been confirmed by a couple of different Russian agencies, Belorussian news sources, and the team, who said EVERY main roster player was on the plane. Unless Salei isn't a main roster player?
